Its never really hard to do anything to a car if you have some background in that area and are interested in it. If you are mechanically inclined and want a challenge go for it. The good news about your RSX is there is lots of upgradeable parts for it. As well google is your friend when it comes to getting techniques for everything to fit right. Another good tip is to get on a forums website specifically for the Acura RSX. That way there is always a good steady flow of info that can help you see what your getting into. Don't just go right for the hard stuff, start off with like an Exhaust, Intake etc Rather then jumping into an immediate engine rebuild.

well it all depends on the knowledge you know about the car the intake and headers are easy but setting up the turbo leave that to somebody that knows what there doin and plus you wouldnt b able to push that much psi do to the fact the k20 come with high compression best to go n/a first and the supercharger it

not the hardest thing in the world.... i put my intake on mine myself... the headers and exhaust ill probably do myself as well... but a turbo myself is out of the question, im not a huge fan of trying to mess with tuning a turbo ill leave that to a skilled mechanic who knows how to read the computer output...

Any motor can be boosted to any PSI. It's all in the tune.
